A wide range of savory sandwiches await you at Defonte's in Brooklyn. Established in the early 1900s by an Italian immigrant Nick Defonte, it is a popular stop to grab a delicious sandwich for locals on the go. The elaborate menu includes sandwiches stuffed with turkey, roast beef, ham and egg, veggies and more. 'The Dino' filled with meatball, parmesan cheese, and traditional Italian sauce and 'Defonte's Cuban' stuffed with pork, ham, pickles and a variety of sauces are among the most favorite orders of the patrons here. Apart from hefty sandwiches, this little eatery also serves hot plates, sides, salads and a couple of beverages.

yelpI finally made it here to try any one of their legendary subs and sandwiches! The deli is super old Skool Italian, cash only in a street not easy to get to without a car or taking the bus. But...
MoreI had such high expectations of this place but sadly I was pretty disappointed with the food. I first heard of this place featured on Diners Drive ins and Dives, the place looked super old school...
MoreA no nonsense italian sandwich shop. Great bread, delicious meats, quality cheeses and lots of toppings, but wait. Decor is what you'd think a 100 year old sandwich shop in NYC would look like....
MoreGet the shrimp parm! I crave it, unfortunately they only serve it on Fridays but it will knock your socks off. The service is very good, they pump out sandwiches quick.
MoreGet anything with Fried Eggplant, it's THE BEST! Hubs, the little one, and I were on our way to Ikea and suddenly remembered that Defonte's is close by! We must go! Defonte's Italian sandwiches...
